Darkness originates from a source, as does Light.
I'm going to lay down and entertain my carnal desires, peace be with you all!
God really didn't include darkness in his creation.
I think darkness is only a metaphor for ignorance, fear and anything scary and uncomfortable.

Well, that's a pretty poem, (Job?) but I doubt that it's god's work.
But, we could say darkness is relative. God created relativity and dualism.

I don't think the world is evil or a prison or a punishment.
I toy with the idea that life is a kind of spiritual university, or maybe even a "cosmic Disney World, and we're all on the ride our karma card could afford. When we earn karma points, we can go on another ride, that we can afford.
(Note to self: fun thread idea)

Eastern and New Age philosophies call it Karma or Karmic law, Jesus called it Sowing and Reeping, and you're spot on.
And....I'm married, :p
I'm also addicted to this dang website, lol. Someone pointed out to me in another thread that I have an addiction to this website and I have to (stubbornly) agree with them....
Can't get enough ATS - should be a T shirt for us to wear. ::

It amazes me how many people are deceived into believing the New Age lie - they mash and grind New Age theology and Christian concepts and they define there own "god" and make up there theology as they go.
The thing is, either the Bible is 100% true, or its 100% false. There is no "75% of its true" or "cherry picking". It's really an all or nothing deal.
Either YHVH is God over the Universe and Christ Jesus is YHVH in the flesh and the Bible is 100% true - or none of it is true.
You cannot choose to believe in God while at the same time denying Him, His Son, and His beloved Book...
